The Marlin trims out equally well with one or two people aboard. It can start from a dead stop in water with absolutely no problem whatsoever. Within the hull is more than adequate foam buoyancy. This means the craft can be safely set down on water when loaded to its operating capacity. To illustrate this, on the Rhone Raid, craft need to float for up to an hour in 70ft deep commercial locks, not somewhere to have any doubts!
Control is via simple handlebar steering with a lever throttle control, the craft can be specified to your own taste from a variety of options, such as flashing beacon, headlights, navigation lights, GPS Navigation, bilge pump etc., all of which are controlled via the instrument pod.
The unique fan assembly is robust and well protected. it is CAD designed to be light and easily serviceable but is extremely strong. The
5 bladed fan gives phenomenal lift characteristics to allow the craft to operate over virtually any surface. The Marlin has a flexible, segmented skirt - so any damage is localised, quickly and easily repaired. This skirt design is a closely guarded secret and offers a significant advantage over our competitor's craft. The lift is so good that the craft has been tested with 8 segments missing but in the event of a segment needing replacement, it is a really quick and simple job to change.
The Marlin is just as much at home on sand banks and muddy beaches, light coastal seas, inland waterways and lakes, grass, ice, swamp land or pretty much any other surface!
